Integrations
What Career Forge connects to
What Career Forge connects to today, from the help centre. Where something is not on this list, ask; most requests are an export or an import away.
| Area | Works with | How |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | OpenID Connect providers: Microsoft Entra, Okta, Keycloak, Shibboleth (through its OpenID Connect plugin) and others | Single sign-on, set up once at the institution for every career center. |
| Calendars | Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 and other providers | A coach connects their calendar; bookings become busy events on it and its busy events block booking in Career Forge. Two-way, or one-way out. |
| Payments | Stripe, TouchNet, check and other methods a career center sets up | An event offers the methods its career center enabled; card payments run on Stripe's hosted form. |
| Student data | Your student information system, by file | Students are imported from a roster export (Banner exports are common among customers), with majors, school years and degree levels mapped to your institution's picklists. The same file can carry a degree-awarded flag for outcomes surveys. |
| Employers | Your employer and recruiter lists, by file | Employers and their representatives are loaded before the first event, and again before a fair for the kiosk. |
| Check-in and badges | Brother QL-820NWBC label printers; keyboard-type NFC readers | The iPad app pairs with the printer over Bluetooth; an NFC reader plugs into the iPad for tap-and-go check-in. |
| Students, employers, cohorts and the people in any report | Automated emails for appointments, registrations and approval steps, with merge terms; a saved report can be emailed to the people in it. | |
| Reports | Spreadsheets and your own analysis | Any report downloads; survey data exports in full and in the NACE format. |
Questions people ask about integrations
By file. Most customers export a roster from Banner or their SIS and import it; the fields map to the institution's picklists. A reliable degree-awarded field in the same file drives outcomes surveys to actual graduates.
Yes, with Microsoft 365 and Google calendars, and other providers through the same connector. Bookings go out as busy events, busy events come in and block booking, and a one-way option sends appointments out without reading the calendar.
